I saved a big mill from going to the scrappy the other day and have just managed to get it running today. Having never used one before and knowing no one with one I’m probably going to ask some bloody stupid questions here but I hope you can beat with me.
The only tooling with it is a fly cutter that looks to be made from a tool holder from a lathe. See pics.
My question is how is this attached to the spindle? I assume there must be a MT in spindle and that tool holders/ collects can be used to hold the various cutters. Am I way off the mark? If the above is right, how is the taper released?
